We describe here the stimulation by pancreastatin of 1,2-diacylglycerol production and protein kinase C activity in liver plasma membrane and isolated hepatocytes. The dose-dependency for the stimulation of both processes was similar to the recently described pattern of glucose output and cytosolic Ca2+ transients produced by pancreastatin. The time course of diacylglycerol production at 30 degrees C showed a rapid increase within 5 min, reaching a maximum at 10 min. Protein kinase C from hepatocytes was dependent on Ca2+ and phosphatidylserine. Neither the pancreastatin-stimulated diacylglycerol production nor the activation of protein kinase C was affected by pretreatment with pertussis toxin. However, the presence of GTP partially inhibited this pancreastatin stimulation of 1,2-diacylglycerol in a dose-dependent manner, although GTP alone stimulates diacylglycerol accumulation. This inhibitory effect of GTP on pancreastatin stimulation of diacylglycerol synthesis was completely abolished by the pretreatment with pertussis toxin. In conclusion, this study provides evidence that pancreastatin stimulates the formation of 1,2-diacylglycerol by a pertussis-toxin-independent mechanism, which may be responsible for the pancreastatin activation of protein kinase C.

D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.
